About This Game

The year is 2047. A massive nuclear fireball explodes high in the night sky, marking the dramatic beginning of the Third Tiberium War and the long-awaited return of the most groundbreaking Real-Time Strategy franchise of all time. Command & Conquer 3 Tiberium Wars unveils the future of RTS gaming by bringing you back to where it all began: the Tiberium Universe. With the corrupt substance Tiberium blanketing most of the Earth, the infamous Kane is back to lead his Brotherhood of Nod in a massive global assault on the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) and the few remaining livable Blue Zones left on the planet. Only you can stop him. Featuring state-of-the-art next-generation graphics, an epic story, and truly innovative features such as the ability to transform online battles into a spectator sport, Command & Conquer is about to reinvent RTS gaming … again. Welcome back, Commander.

35+ Single Player Missions — In a vast open-world theater of war where each decision you make matters, you’ll experience one cohesive, epic story told from the unique perspective of all three warring factions.

Story Like You’ve Never Seen — High-definition, live action video sequences that seamlessly tie the game’s epic story together feature an unparalleled, diverse Hollywood cast, including talent from Star Wars, Starship Troopers, Battlestar Galactica, LOST, and House and the return of Joe Kucan as Kane.

AI with Distinct Styles of Play — The game AI matches your style of play—choose from play styles such as ‘rushing’, ‘turtling’, and more, or level the battlefield and let the AI use its own tactics to give you the highest level of challenge.

New Ways to Attack — Keep your opponent guessing by building flying battleships, wielding the power of terrifying Ion Storms, and combining units to form powerful, never-before-seen super-units.

Technology Makes the World Come Alive — Lose yourself in reflected sunlight and scream in sheer joy as you blow chunks off of enemy tanks, structures, and anything else you can launch a rocket at. The game world gains a new dimension and the battlefield comes to life as the atmosphere fills with smoke, fire, haze, tracers, explosions, and state-of-the-art weather effects.

I bought this game on Disc so ignore my time counter. This is the end all be all of strategy gaming. great balance of units count and variety, simple economics. Aircraft that actually move around for combat. tech trees that are different and yet balanced. a strong campaign and a brutal AI.

unfortunately due to the advent of C&C4 (utter garbage) it is the last great C&C.

One of the best C&C Game Ea has released in ages wished that Westwood didnt shut down because Ea ♥♥♥♥♥ just had to ruin the forth Command and conquer wishing that multiplayer was online again that was the key of their sales but anyway balanced game could be helpful to add some sort of extra defence like walls and more troops but anyway 9/10 Would buy it again!

Ignore my hours. I had this game on disk since it first came out, and honestly, its had more time put into it than any of my other strategy games put together.

When Westwood still existed the C&C series always were wonderful to play - There was just that touch of polish and care which went into their games that you didn't quite get with others, even right down to the little animations of the commandos lighting a cigerrette and chucking it aside, quoting one of their infamous lines with a chuckle. So for 2D units you were commanding quite a colourful and unique army.

However when C&C3 came along... Oohh boy, that jump into 3D. It brought fresh life to the series!... too bad it was the last 'good' game beyond Red Alert 3 after that. EA had washed everything 'Westwood' down the drain.

As always the three factions are almost brilliantly balanced; They each have strengths and flaws which play a triangular role against one another, with similar but unique powers and tech trees. While they can be infamous for certain reasons - Scrin with their hordes of alien ships for example - there is no reason why a player cannot use either GDI or NOD to the same extent and counter it.

From the previous two games the missions are also once again varied, can last you a while, and the AI can be dubious when you're unprepared, if not a little clumsy around the newly introduced slopes and hills, but you'll soon learn their routines and will be yearning for multiplayer - The true bread and butter of the game.

Modders have gone to town since it was released and patched to 1.9 - Maps. Game Modes. Entire campaign edits. New units, new customisation... Hell, they even have Tiberium Sun mods which adds the old units into the game.

Like I said. Sad to see its the last 'good' game of the series.Command & Conquer 4 'Twilight' ruined the finale to the story by ripping out the core gameplay mechanics, making maps capture-the-flag esque and point control, while plummeting the player into a final 'thats all folks!' with the ending.If you want a true C&C game, get Tiberum Dawn or Sun. If you want an enjoyable 3d C&C game, get this, or Red Alert 3.

This and Kanes wrath is easily the best game in the series, if you played any of the other C&C titles, this is the one you should get first hand. not more to say here other than you cannot go wrong with this game, it's great, I totally recommend it.

Hands down the best RTS game of all time... such a shame there is no master server anymore (thanks EA ya pricks) still play the sh*t out of skirmish when I'm bored. Unfortunately, It's turned 7 now and it's time to say goodbye :(. Hopefully the makers of the next Tiberium wars game realise this 'hit the nail on the head' when it come to the perfect RTS.

This game is a classic yet still golden. There are 3 factions in the game which are, GDI the so-called "US Military", Nod a rebellious group, and Scrin an alien group. My favorite is Nod due to the fact that you can launch nukes and special forces. I'm recommending this game also because the price isn't bad and most of the buyers and satisfied about the game overall. Since the multiplayer in the game is shut down for me I use Evolve a LAN program similar to Hamachi but better.

The last command & conquer i actually enjoyed. The story was well made but I mostly played the online due to i own it on the xbox360. If you like rts games than this game is for you! Ion cannons are what makes you powerful!
